aap samjhen to hamare ishq ki rudad bhi
dastan-e-sis bhi hai qissa-e-farhad bhi

dil mein lakhon aarzuen hain hazaron hasraten
ye wo basti hai jo hai barbaad bhi aabaad bhi

shukriya ai gardish-e-ayyam tere faiz se
gulsitan bhi hum ne dekha khana-e-sayyaad bhi

un ka banda ho ke bhi hai pas-e-khuddari mujhe
main asir-e-ishq bhi hun aur hun aazad bhi

ab badal jae mizaj-e-husn bhi to kya ajab
rahat-e-jaan hoti jati hai kisi ki yaad bhi

ras aai hai kahan mujh ko faza-e-gulsitan
bad-guman hai baghban bhi aur hai sayyaad bhi

har tarah dilchasp-o-dilkash tha fasana ishq ka
dad ke qabil hai lekin husn ki rudad bhi
